After Song Yingxing was summoned in, Zhu Changhao didn't talk nonsense, and said to him directly, "Old Song, now this king has set up a new hydraulic stamping machine from the personal guard battalion, as well as the relevant envoys of your Ministry of Industry, to the east end of the small island in the heart of the river of the Ordnance Supervisor, and this king has already said the relevant drawings and dimensions, so this time the main coinage matter will be handed over to your Ministry of Industry, and there are hundreds of people in the personal guard camp, you can command it casually, but you must do a good job of secrecy, if there is a mistake in the process of stamping coins." , this king will ask you if you are. "Co*music*words*love*first*hair(http://www.klxsw.com

"Yes, Lord Wang, the humble duty will definitely be done well, but this coinage is a major event of the country, and Weichen hopes to have a land master or a sailor to protect it, otherwise, so much silver, if someone takes a risk, the humble position will die at that time."

"You can rest assured, just when the king asked them to cast the forged manganese steel punch, already on the ground five acres behind, there are three bright and dark posts, even artillery, cowhide cylinders, there is also a base reserve, this king believes, even if there are 5,000 people to attack, this small island in the middle of the river can also be defended, the problem is that during your coinage, in addition to you, other foundry supervisors can not leave the coinage room, now, you immediately come down to arrange, tomorrow morning, you will go to the island in the middle of the river, and the military discipline department will also be responsible for supervising at that time, Household Department Audit. Until the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, you will have to mint coins all the time. ”

"Then, Lord Wang, the matter of coinage, I know about it, but it's just this silver?"

"The silver king has already made disposal arrangements in place, you don't have to worry about it, I guarantee that there will be boxes of ingots for smelting tomorrow."

"Then the lowly position will rest assured, if the prince is fine, then the lowly position will go down to arrange."

"Well, you go", Zhu Changhao waved his hand and said.

Zhu Changhao finished arranging this matter, and was still thinking about what he was going to do this afternoon, when Liu Zheng came in, he came to say goodbye to the prince, and inspected the post posts and post stations of the forty-two state capitals in the south.

The more than 1,000 sailors in this are still the members of the Fubo Sailor Division when they escorted Zhu Changhao to Hanzhong last time, and their combat power is very strong among all the sailors of Ruiwang, and now let him escort Liu Zheng to inspect various post stations in the south of the Yangtze River, which is really just pediatrics.

This will be at the right time, that is, ten o'clock in the morning, since Zhu Changhao has already explained the things that should be explained.

The relevant documents, inspection procedures, and the prince's silver order have all been prepared.

Liu Zheng inspected this time, and there were no less than 100 copywriters with rough pen and ink, and some of them turned out to be Xiucai who fell off the list in the spring of this year, and now they have been enriched into the inspection team, which can be said to be a little disrespectful, but Zhu Changhao directly gave them five dollars a day of silver, which is more than three times the salary.

Although they felt that they were going to celebrate the New Year, the stimulation of earning fifteen taels of silver a month finally made them happy to go.

Today, the sailor wharf on the eighteen-mile shop has been under martial law. When Zhu Changhao told the soldiers on the dock about the importance of this inspection, the more than 4,000 people present suddenly felt the mission they shouldered.

In the end, Zhu Changhao stood on the dock, looking at the warships heading east, knowing that this inspection would build a complete iron chain for the economic development strategy of the Ming Dynasty.

Next, in addition to envisioning next year's development plan, Zhu Changhao has also been deducing the trend of Liaodong Huang Taiji with Sun Chengzong next year.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji did a good job, except for his own Yingkou boundary in Liaodong Bay, after getting a vote, this guy still calmly eased the relationship with Horqin.

Now, there are already some Horqin people who believe that the robbery that occurred in the Linghai area was not done by the Jurchens, but should have been done by the Ming Dynasty pretending to be the Jurchens.

But they suffer from the lack of evidence, and they are just talking.

In the winter of Shengjing City, although it is extremely cold, but the street, it is still prosperous, the money rat braid, due to the cold of winter, has put on a melon skin hat, the ermine fluff sheath to protect the ears, drooping down, showing their superiority.

In Shengjing City, although the life of the Jurchens this year is not as good as in previous years, they can get rich reports from their domestic slaves and Baoyi.

It was the domestic slaves and the Han people who worked hard for a year, and they still had no clothes or food, although they walked back and forth on the streets, because it would be even colder to stop.

This is just a superficial phenomenon, a deep thing, it is already Huang Taiji has become a veritable Great Khan, in the territory of Liaodong, this guy is the emperor.

The matter that caused the great increase in the prestige of Huang Taiji had to start from February this year.

In February of the second year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji first led his two younger brothers, Dolgon, and the army of Duoduo to personally investigate the Dorot tribe to which Har belonged, and entered the area of Aomulun, capturing 11,200 people.

Because of the great victory of Aomulun, Dolgon was given the name Murgen Daiqing, and Duoduo was given the name Erke Chuhuer.

This is the first year of Chongzhen, less than 16 years old Dolgon because of the conquest of Mongolia Chahar Department has a great merit, by this title, Huang Taiji also announced that according to the Manchurian customs, with this title, after that everyone has to call him so, not violated, if violated, a man will be punished to take off the sword and arrow he wears, and a woman will be punished to take off her skirt in public.

Later, in August, peace was negotiated with Karaqin, and in September, troops from Horqin, Karaqin, Aohan, Naiman and Khalkha were transferred to the meeting.

On September 6, the Houjin army set out for Chahar. On the 20th, they attacked Silha, Sibertu, Ying, and Tong, all of them. The next day, they chased to the Xing'an Mountains and obtained countless people and animals. Victorious in mid-October.

In this expedition, the Later Jin not only dealt a blow to the great enemy Chahar tribe, but also further consolidated their rule over the subjugated Mongol tribes. Soon after, the Emperor Taiji sent Ashdarhan to these places to proclaim the edict, and in the future, if he was to conquer Har, all those who were in charge of the banner were under the age of seventy and above thirteen, and all of them were to be levied, and those who violated the law were punished with horses and camels, and those who did not go to the place of rendezvous were also punished with horses.

Due to Huang Taiji's great victory, his set of Ding men under 70 and over 13 years old, all the people are soldiers, so that Huang Taiji laid a good foundation for the future emperor.

But Zhu Changhao now handed Sun Chengzong a piece of information from Guangzhou Mansion to Sun Chengzong before deducing from Sun Chengzong.

According to intelligence, since the Apocalypse, ceramics, cotton, and handicrafts along the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty have been severely interfered with by the activities of the Franc machine and the Ming pirates in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea.

The situation changed dramatically last year after Zheng Zhilong, a pirate leader and smuggler, surrendered to Xiong Wencan, the new governor of Fujian, and the imperial court also made him a coastal defense organic.

Zheng Zhilong promised to help the governor control the maritime trade activities he had participated in. He turned out to be very successful, and within three years, the situation along the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang was greatly improved, and Xiong Wencan built a normal maritime trade in this area.

Under the protection of Zheng Zhilong, the Ming Dynasty's sea ships, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou's merchants began to conduct normal business and trade with the Spaniards and the Francophiles.

In the last winter of the Apocalypse, they began large-scale trade with Spain again. By the first year of Chongzhen, the amount of silver that flowed into the hands of the Ming people in Manila amounted to 2 million pesos per year, which is a huge amount.

In addition, due to the import of large quantities of silver by the Portuguese through Macao, the commercial activities of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom also improved greatly. These developments, the statistics of the royal merchants of Guangzhou Prefecture, and the Houdao Iron Ware of Foshan, are all loaded on ships and sailed eastward, and the destination is the Wa Kingdom.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong are all hot.

Unfortunately, in the first year of Chongzhen, that is, in the spring of this year, the depressed northwestern province of Shaanxi was hit by a severe drought; During this winter, the situation in some areas was appalling, the sale of children and daughters was common, and cannibalism was not uncommon. Rebellions erupted when the provinces and counties of Shaanxi were unable to provide food to alleviate the famine, especially in the eastern and central parts of the province. Especially Xi'an Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, and Yanqing Mansion.

There is one more thing said in the intelligence, half a month ago, when the emperor reduced the number of post stations and personnel in order to reduce government spending, Hou Duo had already gone to Gao Yingxiang, the king of Daliang.

Some well-read and hyphenated post chiefs and post guards who understood the reality of the imperial court rushed in, which strengthened the rebel ranks, because the laid off personnel could not make a living.

They were joined by deserters and mutineers from the official army, and it was reported that the rebellion soon spread throughout the province.

Three days ago, the emperor had ordered Yang He, the left deputy capital, to be ordered to be the governor of the trilateral military affairs and govern most of Shaanxi.

It is said that although Yang He is a conscientious civilian official, he is not an inspiring military commander.

In the original time and space, Yang He's two and a half years in Shaanxi had mixed results. Although he had some success in persuading rebel leaders to surrender and even put their armies at the disposal of the government, he failed to eliminate the rebels who could not be trusted. Critics point out that many of the rebels who had already surrendered defected again at the first opportunity. Some of the other rebels refused to surrender at all, and Yang He was troubled by a group of men who occupied a strategic town in northeastern Shaanxi from the summer to the early autumn of the third year of Chongzhen's reign.

In the third and fourth years of Chongzhen, the rebels in Shaanxi carried out a devastating attack on the neighboring province of Shanxi, a development that caused consternation in the local and Beijing departments. Although Yang He's initial policy of appeasement was enthusiastically supported, the emperor gradually woke up. In October 1631, due to the increasing number of rebels in Shaanxi, Yang He was relieved of his post and arrested.

Zhu Changhao couldn't imagine that it was still a little late for him to compile the world's post roads, and the inertia of history was too strong.

Sun Chengzong also read this information, and suddenly took possession of it, and was about to say something, Zhu Changhao said helplessly, "Boss, sit down and talk about it!" ”
